Him

James Bowden

Insistent upon his ability
To change
Stony
Brooding
Resolute, yet aware
Nonchalant
Dismissive
Everything he represses
Nothing he stands for
Caught
No, dwelling
In limbo
Too stubborn to be.

Again, I think I’ve greatly departed from this, but here it is as an artifact. I think the repressing vs. standing for dichotomy is always in part true for many of us, but hopefully I’ve gotten better at being open about things.
